Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 5 cups brewed coffee
- 4 cups milk
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream
- ½ cup canned pumpkin puree
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
Toppings
- Whipped topping
- Ground cinnamon for garnish
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Into your slow cooker, place the brewed coffee, milk, heavy whipping cream, canned pumpkin puree, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice. This mixture forms the flavorful base of your pumpkin spice latte.
- Whisk to Blend: Whisk all the ingredients together thoroughly to ensure the pumpkin puree and spices are evenly incorporated with the coffee and dairy, creating a smooth, homogenous mixture.
- Slow Cook: Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on low for 2 hours. This gentle heating allows the flavors to meld and the latte to become warm and creamy without curdling the dairy.
- Serve and Garnish: Once cooked, ladle the hot pumpkin spice latte into mugs. Top each serving with a generous swirl of whipped cream and sprinkle with ground cinnamon for an aromatic and festive finish.
Notes
- Use whole milk or your preferred milk alternative, but be mindful that dairy alternatives might change the creaminess and flavor slightly.
- Adjust the amount of brown sugar depending on desired sweetness.
- For a richer latte, substitute some of the milk with half-and-half or cream.
- This recipe can be doubled for larger gatherings if your slow cooker is roomy enough.
- Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheated gently on the stove or microwave.
- Make sure to stir the latte well before serving after it has rested or been refrigerated to re-incorporate any settled ingredients.
